murdoch empire right here in the united states. lawmakers demanding the probe amid reports that murdoch's journalists hacked the cell phones of 9/11 victims and their families. susan candiotti in new york with the details now. susan? >> reporter: hi, kyra. good morning to you. yes, this investigation is now 24 hours old. as fbi tries to figure out how they are going to approach this. all of it started, kyra, with a report in a british tabloid that a private investigator here in new york, that there was an attempt to hire him to hack into phone records of 9/11 victims and families, as well as reach out into the voice mails of 9/11 victims and families. the fbi, that appears to be the starting point and see if there is any truth in that. people on thrill and 9/11 families have been pushing for this. the u.s. attorney general has acknowledged during a news conference in australia in the last 4 hours that, yes, indeed, this is taking place. and already we have reaction from 9/11 families, including jim riches who lost his son, a firefighter, on 9/11. >> in somebody went in and took our information and took our last messages from our sons or what we were talking about, it's not none of their business unless they can ask us and if we're willing to tell them, we will tell them. to invade privacy like that, america has rights. >> reporter: in fact, mr. riches and other 9/11 families saying if these allegations are true, it is horrifying and people should be prosecuted if they can find out who is responsible. >> susan candiotti, thanks. the man who led new york through the 9/11 attacks and its horrible aftermath is speaking out on the murdoch scandal. former new york mayor and onetime prosecutor rudy giuliani said this. >> sure. i mean, intercepting communications like that is crime and has to be investigateded. we have learned recently a bunch of criminal cases of different kinds, don't rush to judgment. give people a presumption of innocence. i think just how high up it goes is a big question and when we should be jumping to conclusions about. >> giuliani is also a longtime friend of rupert murdoch. now the nation's debt crisis and a new deadline. forget august 2nd. the president says it's decision time now. here is what he told congress. you've got 24 hours or less to move forward on a deal. and then there is this dire message from the big three global credit ratings agencies. if a deal isn't reached soon, they will downgrade the nation's credit standing. the president speaks to the american public today. a news conference less than two hours away from now. 11:00 eastern. we will carry it live. let's get to the white house and dan lothian. what do we expect the president on say come 11:00? >> reporter: well, a senior administration official telling me the president will be explaining to the american people where they really are in this process, what he has asked congressional leaders to do, and how he is still pushing for the biggest deal possible. another white house aide telling me the president will continue in that press conference to make the case that now is the time to sort of seize the moment in order to get the big deal, but i can tell you, after five cadays here of meetings at the white house, still this grand bargain deal does not appear like the republicans pushing back and resisting that. so it seems likely that it will be something either much smaller than that or perhaps something in the middle. what we do know is that after yesterday's meeting, the president called on these congressional leaders to go back and meet with their caucuses and then come back within 24 to 36 hours with some options about the way forward and, if not, perhaps they will have to meet again over the weekend. all sides here trying to prevent what everyone has described as a catastrophic situation if that debt ceiling is not raised. >> dan lothian at the white house, thanks. stay with cnn for live coverage of the president's news conference less than two hours from now at 11:00 eastern. don't think for a second the president is the only one pushing back here. his own base is protesting. our deputy political director paul steinhauser. what is the news there?
